DrIFT-2.2.0:
Mon Apr 10 00:39:24 PDT 2006 John Meacham <john@repetae.net>
* add note about reconf script

Wed Jan 18 03:59:21 PST 2006 David Roundy <droundy@darcs.net>

Sun Nov 27 02:59:14 PST 2005 Malcolm.Wallace@cs.york.ac.uk
* Change rule for Haskell2XmlNew into XmlContent, add Parse rule.
The Haskell2XmlNew class was a temporary staging post on the way to
developing a new XmlContent class, available in HaXml-1.14 onwards.
This patch updates the name, and the rule, to match the latest
developments. It also adds support for the textual (non-XML) Parse
class, which is an experimental replacement for the Read class, using
monadic parser combinators. This is also currently defined in
HaXml-1.14.
* docs should refer to StandardRules.hs, not .lhs
* fix docs for Hugs usage
* keep docs of --list option up-to-date
Tue Nov 15 18:09:40 PST 2005 Einar Karttunen <ekarttun@cs.helsinki.fi>
* Hook Arbitrary into DrIFT proper
* Add UserRuleArbitrary
Thu Nov 3 02:52:38 PST 2005 John Meacham <john@repetae.net>
* fix data derving for new versions of ghc
DrIFT-2.1.2:
* fix rpm building, autoconf and some general make issues
* fix warnings in generated binary instances
* fix autoconf warnings
Mon Sep 12 08:11:10 PDT 2005 Malcolm.Wallace@cs.york.ac.uk
* support for Haskell2XmlNew
The HaXml library Haskell2Xml has been extended to make secondary parsing
of the generic XML content tree into a typed value more robust. An API
change means that a new version of the class (unimaginatively called
Haskell2XmlNew) exists, and this patch adds the ability to generate
parsing code for the new class.
* doc updates
Fix some very out-of-date statements in the manual.
Tue May 31 16:17:12 PDT 2005 Samuel Bronson <naesten@gmail.com>
* avoid problems with hmake by invoking ghc -M directly
* Default to GHC to avoid NHC's tiny heap
DrIFT-2.1.1:
Tue Apr 19 21:09:13 PDT 2005 John Meacham <john@repetae.net>
* Be sure to flush handles pointing to files before quitting
* fix off-by-one line number error
* Remove reference to genconf
* Updated GenUtil.hs to fix nhc build
DrIFT-2.1.0:
* added 'get' utility which creates foo_g for each label which returns its
value in a failing monad rather than raising an error.
* added 'from' utility which creates fromFoo for each constructors
* no longer an error for DERIVEPATH to not be set
* added -i to ignore directives in file. useful with -g and -r for testing
* added 'Query' which creates from, get, has, and is functions, but in a
class with an instance for the data type. useful for extensible data types
* added deriving rule for 'Monoid'
* added code subdirectory with support code
DrIFT-2.0.4:
* added rule for GhcBinary
* now allows record syntax with newtype
DrIFT-2.0.3:
* 'update' functions now pass through values without the specified field
* drift-ghc script added to be used with ghc by passing -pgmF drift-ghc -F
* documentation updated.
DrIFT-2.0.2:
* deriving 'update' works with newer versions of ghc
* fixed bug in Show and Read instances
DrIFT-2.0.1:
* fixed many warnings in generated code
* support for strict fields in constructors
* support for infix constructors
DrIFT-2.0rc4:
* added help messages and categorization to rules
* small isLiterate fix (TODO use nhcs deliterizer)
* prints debug info in comment in chaseImports
* code cleanups
* integrated some changes from Strafunski 1.7
* autoconf/automake improvements
DrIFT-2.0rc3:
* fixed version strings in generated files
* fix dependency generation
* fixed example test cases
DrIFT-2.0rc2:
* autoconf/automake added
* texinfo is installed properly now
* build system cleanups
* works with both nhc and ghc again
DrIFT-2.0rc1:
* new texinfo documentation, based on Noel's original manual.
* new option '-r' to only emit results and not original source
* new option '-g' to add new global rules to apply.
* cleaned up old non haskell98-compliant hacks
jDrIFT-1:
* proper GetOpt command line handling, allows you to specify an
output file (-o) as well as list all possible derivations this
version was compiled with (-l)
* proper LINE pragmas in generated code
* smarter error handling in some cases, parser smarter sometimes.
* can deal with/ignore as appropriate some ghc extensions now
* rules to derive Typeable used by the Dynamic library.
* rules to derive Observable from the HOOD object debugger
* rules to derive Term, a generic term representation for generic
computation, can be used in a similar fashion to the Strafunski one,
but has a number of advantages, fully lazy constant time implode/explode
being the main one. (the external library is compatable with their work.)
